The game is changing. For the first time in history, the #Paris2024Olympic and #ParalympicGames will see an equal number of men and women competing. This 50:50 representation of athletes makes the Summer Games the first to reach #genderequality. Progress does not stop there. With an expected global audience of 3 billion, this year’s Games have been deliberately scheduled to make possible more balanced coverage of all events, putting all athletes in the spotlight. The Games will also feature more women’s and mixed events, offering more opportunities for women to win medals.   #GenderEqualOlympics and #ChangeTheGame #sdg5

Excited to share this insightful video featuring none other than the phenomenal Marta Vieira da Silva, a leading figure from EAFC, discussing the role and importance of women in football. ⚽️ Marta’s words resonate far beyond the football pitch. They serve as a powerful reminder of the undeniable impact women make across all industries, including gaming. 🏃♀️➡️ In a world where diversity and inclusion are increasingly recognized as key drivers of innovation and growth, it's inspiring to see influential figures like Marta leading the charge. Her message is a clarion call for us to acknowledge, respect, and elevate the role of women in all sectors.🎮🕹 This is particularly relevant in the gaming industry, where the presence and contributions of women are often overlooked. It's time we celebrate and encourage the incredible women in gaming, just as we do in football and other industries. Let's continue to amplify women's voices, celebrate their accomplishments, and foster an environment where they can thrive. Here's to more power, more representation, and more diversity in every field!:muscle::globe_with_meridians: #WomenInFootball #WomenInGaming #diversity #Inclusion #Empowerment

My dude! Catalyzing human positive tipping points because others are blind to our emerging future 🙌🏽 There are so many underappreciated assets out there. The catch: your investing lens must have evolved from a single value to a multi-value systems view.

Women driving fast over here…literally and figuratively. 🏎️ It takes GUTS to race up Pikes Peak around those hairpin turns. I 100% believe you can’t fully appreciate a sport until you try it. To that note, I would like raise my hand to try it, preferably on a flat, straight, smooth surface… In the meantime, I can settle for cheering on these athletes with my team members at RBC Wealth Management #2025Goals

Target Visibility 🥏 We're celebrating International Women's Day by targeting visibility! The Women's Shooting Network is committed to increasing the visibility of women's shooting and dedicating our future plans to this IWD! We are excited about our future plans and we cannot wait to share our journey with you! We have written an article about increasing visibility in women's shooting and our proposal to do just that. We've broken it down into 6 actionable steps, so you can help us make an impact too. 1. Amplifying achievements - we want to celebrate and publicise the efforts and achievements of women within our sport at all levels. Whether this is through the use of our socials, newsletter, or through leveraging local media outlets, our goal is to share the accomplishments of women to showcase what’s possible and inspire others! 2. Encouraging media coverage - reaching new audiences is essential for the future of women’s shooting and the shooting sports more generally. The more we can do to promote women in shooting, the higher our chances of breaking the biases which are often associated with the shooting sport and the more likely we are to see increased levels of participation. 3. Educating everyone - by being proactive and informative, we can share the benefits of the shooting sport and encourage more women to try their hand at shooting! For those within the sport already, we will equip women with everything they need to know about shooting, technique, tools for the job and safety. 4. Engage with youth - we want to work with schools, colleges, universities and clubs to introduce shooting as a viable sport for women and girls. By targeting early exposure we hope to see an increase in lifelong participation! 5. Advocate for opportunities - we’re passionate about making a difference and working with industry stakeholders to co-create opportunities for women within the sport and to ensure that the voice of women are heard and represented at all levels of the sport, from grassroots to governance! 6. Promote diversity and inclusion - we strive to ensure that The Women’s Shooting Network is a place for women to thrive and that its events are accessible and inclusive for all ages and abilities.
